On Friday, President Trump announced he would be visiting East Palestine after Biden had largely ignored the disaster and refused to send assistance.
Ironically, just hours after Trump announced his planned visit, Biden changed course and decided to send a FEMA assistance team to the area.
This from trendingpoliticsnews.com.
Many have opined that Biden only did this because he didn’t want to be upstaged by Trump:
Trump announces he’s visiting East Palestine and FEMA immediately announces they will send federal resources.
There’s no way that’s a coincidence.

Trump also sounded off on the sudden change of heart, saying “we got them to move” in a new Truth Social post:
President Trump is headed to East Palestine, Ohio:
"The people of East Palestine need help. I'll see you on Wednesday!" pic.twitter.com/msxuh3CtNe

The President said:
Biden and FEMA said they would not be sending federal aid to East Palestine.
As soon as I announced that I’m going, he announced a team will go. Hopefully he will also be there.
This is good news because we got them to ‘move’.
The people of East Palestine need help. I’ll see you on Wednesday!
In a matter of days, FEMA went from saying that Ohio “did not qualify” for assistance to urgently sending a team to the area. This large pivot raises eyebrows, to say the least.
The Obiden Regime came out with this disingenuous press release after President Trump announced his visit:
The Biden-Harris [Regime] has mobilized a robust, multi-agency effort to support the people of East Palestine, Ohio.
As [Resident] Biden told Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro soon after the derailment, the Federal Government stands ready to provide any additional federal assistance the states may need.
It’s good to see the communist/globalist cabal finally beginning to do the right thing, even if it is for solely political purposes.
Final thoughts: For the people of East Palestine, this will be a politically-related memory that will remain with them for decades to come: the communist/globalist Obiden cabal intended to provided zero assistance with this catastrophe. A Conservative MAGA President shamed the illegitimate cabal into taking action.
Please stay on top of this President Trump. The communists/globalists are dishonest and have ulterior motives. They also caused this derailment to happen.
